Abstract
A thermal management system for a propulsion system of an aircraft includes a fluid circuit configured to provide a flow of a compressed fluid from a compressor section of the propulsion system to, in serial flow order, a first turbine, a compressor, a second turbine, a thermal load, and an exhaust sink. A heat exchanger is disposed in a fan stream of the propulsion system at a location along the fluid circuit between the compressor and the second turbine. The fluid circuit extends through and is in thermal communication with the heat exchanger.
